Proficuus

Hallelujah!!!!!

 

Dear family in Christ

 

Proficuus was conducted from 20th to 23rd September at Emmaus. It was attended by a total of 83 engineering students from all over Kerala.

 

There were a lot of wonderful inspiring sessions during these days. At first was the retreat and then we had the other programs. There were sessions on sin and repentance, inner healing, the rosary, about the Jesus Youth set-up. Most of the students shared that the adoration and confession were most effective. There were panel sharings, group-building activities, video presentations and a spiritual anointing session. We conducted an outreach on the last day.

 

Please do pray for all who attended Proficuus especially from MACE and also for those who couldn't attend..

 

Love and prayers

SING PRAISE AND BLESS THE LORD...

 

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ

 

The meeting of the day was led by Lindachechi(S7C) and Merin(S5R). They shared about the need to surrender completely to the Lord...like we sing 'All to Jesus I surrender'. For He is the Potter and we are just the clay.... It must be our prayer...'mould me and make me'. Just as the potter gives infinite care to the clay so that is moulded in the way he desires, so too our Creator will do whatever it takes to mould us according to His will. Painful though the moulding may be, the result will be something beautiful beyond compare.

 

Jesus often taught in the temple but it was only after Hosanna Sunday that He cleansed the temple...after the people welcomed Him as King. So too, He will mould us only when we surrender all to Him and welcome Him as King of our heart and mind and soul. (Read Mark 11).

 

Then we had the action song 'blind man sat by the road and he cried'. The meeting was attended for the first time by some of the first-year students too..

PRAISE THE LORD ALL THE NATIONS!!

 

Dearest chetans and chechis

 

Our new semester started on the 10th of September. This was the first prayer meeting in the new semester and it was led by Deo(S5M) and George(S5C). It was a wonderful meeting... Their theme was about reaching out to others and about being thankful even in the midst of trials. The Word for the day was from Luke 10.

 

Luke 10:27

He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'^[c]; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' "

 

They showed a video cd on two laptops to all who attended...it was a short documentary feature about a man who was born without arms or legs. It was very powerful...to watch him doing simple things that we take for granted like brushing teeth with so much effort. He says "I will allow no obstacle to stop me from doing what i wish to do..... Because the power of Christ is in me!!!" It was a blessed experience... Then we had a wonderful praise and worship session with thanksgiving...  All were exhorted to be motivated into reaching out to others... We then conducted an outreach on Saturday to Pratheeksha Bhavan. All the juniors who attended said it was an amazing experience..

BLESS THE LORD MY SOUL

Dear family

With all the exams over, there were very few people left in Kothamangalam so the attendance wasn't much but in spite of that we had a great group...attended mostly by first years' and a few seniors including two Hindus... The Word for the day was from Mark 6:45-51..the Bible passage was about Jesus walking on the water.

We decided to hear the first-years' sharing about their experiences with the group over the past year...

Most of them told that they started coming because of their seniors' love and care. We pray that the love of Christ will make them stay! Some of them shared that their prayer lives had changed since they started coming..some liked the songs...some shared about the praise and worship.. It was really a refreshing sight to see the first-years' attending the group even on the eve of the exams..surely they must have felt that they would lose nothing by attending. God bless them!!!

MY JESUS MY SAVIOUR LORD THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU!

Dearest in Christ

The group for the day was led by Arun Antony(S6L) and Jomy(S6M). They shared about the CHOICES we face and how we ought to make wise choices. They told two instances...one about St.Francis of Assissi...how he renounced all that he had in the world for the Lord. The other was the story of a little girl torn between a Barbie doll and a teddy bear while shopping. She finally buys the teddy and  then  mopes around at home thinking of the doll she could have bought.

Likewise we may face some tough choices in life...to give up something we love.. We also have the choice to be forever grateful for the blessings we have...or whine about the ones we don't.

Let us pray that we may always be able to make the right choices in life!!

That was the last group that our dearest final-years'  attended..... May the Lord bless their lives wherever they go. We thank all the six of you- Benilchettan, Midhunchettan, Shintochettan, Jishachechi, Sherinchechi and Soniachechi for everything...please don't expect me to list out what all we are grateful for....that list wouldn't finish anytime now. You were a blessing to us in so many ways... We pray that we can do for our juniors what you've done for us. Thanks for all the patient sowing you have done the last four years!!!!!!!

SING PRAISE AND BLESS THE LORD!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ

The group was led by Bineesha(S4C) and Edin(S4M). We started off by singing songs and then they introduced the topic...the Word was from 1 John 3:1-10.

I John 3:1
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us that we shoul be called the children of God.

Indeed it is a blessing we are unworthy of..to call Him 'Father'. And yet how deep how high how wide His love is!! For He loved us while we were yet sinners. That's the difference between His love and human love. For we love those we believe are worthy of our love and friendship. How far are we able to love the cranky, the rude, the hot-tempered, the dirty, the mean and  the like?


We then sang the action song 'tring tring cycle gadee' and concluded with prayer.

ABBA FATHER LET ME BE YOURS AND YOURS ALONE!

Dear family in Christ

The group of the day was conducted by Eugene(S6E) and Jeffie(S6L). They shared from Mark 12:28-44.

Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God. Love Him with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength.

The chosen Bible passage includes the part about the mos important commandment and the widow's mite. We were asked to read the passage and share with our neighbour any insights we  had. We heard some wonderful insights... That we must love Him with the fullness of love, in its entirety, with every fibre of our being! And loving Him, how can we afford to neglect the mankind  so precious to Him? Precious enough to send His Son for us!!!!


The widow's offering teaches us to give our all...our time, energy, love to Him..without measure..even as He gave to us without measure His love! This is one of the very rare instances where we see Jesus actually calling His disciples to Him to point out someone...And that someone turned out to be not a Pharisee but a poor widow! The widow's offering was that precious and pleasing to Him!!!!
